Chrome Unstable with Docker

Run chrome version Unstable through X11 socket.
Highly inspired from https://github.com/jfrazelle/dockerfiles/blob/master/chromium/Dockerfile

Don't forget to allow docker instance to connect to your host.

• Quick solution (not secure-) xhost +
• Advanced solution: See here

docker run --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY" studiodev/chrome-unstable-x11

Advanced usage

Create image from Dockerfile

docker build -t chrome-unstable-x11 .

Create a new instance with one of these configurations

• Run with ephemeral storage

docker run --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY" chrome-unstable-x11

• Run stateful data-on-host

docker run -d --name chrome-unstable -v /data/chrome:/data -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY" chrome-unstable-x11  
docker start chrome-unstable-x11 # For next runs

• Run with stateful dockerized container

docker run -d --volumes-from chrome-data -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY" chrome-unstable-x11  
docker start chrome-unstable-x11 # For next runs

Enjoy!
